How does you game fit the theme?
Your character is the imaginary number, i.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and graphics, but the font and SFX are from itch.io assets :)

very nice game! really liked the mechanics, great job!
Cool game, I like the concept of imaginary numbers!
This is such a cool game! Loved everything about it!! Very nice!
This is a really cool game! It has a such great concept!
Wow great take on the concept! I thought it was a fun puzzle game! I got stuck (on the second level I think? Not sure). I felt so silly when I found the solution though ahaha (good deception in that level). The controls felt really nice, and the simpler graphics worked really well :) Thanks for the imaginary trophy at the end ahaha
Overall great submission!
Thank you for enjoying my trickery >:D
This is awesome. The only math game other than mine I've played in the jam, wish more people had tried.
Math nerds unite! lol
Thank you for finding my game. I think there was another one with flying numbers, but the submissions page refreshed before I could take a closer look. (I'll add feedback to your game in its ratings page~)
Pretty neat game,
The music was actually nice, and the levels were well made, the whole i^2 = -1 is really cool but it assumes players have an idea about it which usually isn't the case for everyone,
I loved the effects and the polish of everything,
Pretty well-made game, thanks for the imaginary trophy 😂
Good job!
Pretty interesting concept! I also loved whatever you did to those imaginary platforms and the fact that the character is literally an i (didn't notice until halfway through lol).
One thing that would make this game better is having more clarity on how your mechanic works and what things are. I thought at first that the yellow things were just coins so I was picking them up left and right and then proceeding to get stuck and confused.
Although its really cool that -i and -1 reverse gravity, I think it should be explained better rather than just writing out "i^2 = -1". And just in general, I think you should try and explain your mechanic in a way that doesn't assume the player knows what i is.
A piece of advise that was once told to me is "while developing games, assume all your players are absolute idiots" and I shall pass that onto you. Really enjoyed playing your game though, cheers!
Thank you for the detailed feedback! I might have had too much fun putting "powers" on the map to trick people. In retrospect, I should have laid down a good foundation of the mechanics before challenging the player's understanding. (And with this, I learned that I will make a terrible math teacher lol)
Nice concept, even though the collisions are buggy in the browser version, I still managed to play it.
Good job!
Boop, I like it. Fun, appreciate that you told me about the bugged collision thing.
Very good concept, I hope to see this higher in the rankings
Wow. Thank you so much! I am hoping people like my take on the theme :)
Wow, what a clever idea! I've never played something like this before, love your game,.
PS: It would be awesome if you can play and rate my game too ^_^
Thank you~ I played your game! Will put feedback soon!
This is such a creative way of interpreting the theme! Some levels had me confused but it was very enjoyable. The moving platforms were weird at times, but the rest was a great experience :)
Thank you! And sorry for the bugs. T_T
this was really fun to play! loved the creativity put into the theme as well as the audio :D
Ty~ <3
Wasn't expecting a math problem, good thing I like math. But for real, I really liked the idea of the game, each level felt like a puzzle. Awesome.
I was worried the theme is too nerdy. :D Ty for having fun and leaving feedback!
(Belatedly realizing, is "for real" a number pun? LOL)
Perhaps
Cool idea! I wanted to join the jam but failed to come up with any unique idea; I really appreciate the uniqueness and creativity of the theme's inspiration! Best of luck!
Thank you!!
Great Audio! The powers mechanic was interesting and fun!
Thank you :))))
Great game! very inovative! good job!
Thank you~ I have rated your game too. It's like our games are cousins. :)
=D
